Iron:

For better hemoglobin production, iron is essential. To satisfy your babyâ€™s iron needs, feed your baby solid food along with breast milk. You can give him/her iron-rich foods like red meat, fish and chicken at the proper stage of the babyâ€™s life.

Vitamin C is also essential for better absorption of iron. It is therefore advisable to feed your baby with fruit juices with a dilution of one part of juice in four-five parts of water.
